Greetings PlayStation.Blog. Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery is an episodic PS Vita adventure brimming with weird and wonderful characters and a host of brain teasing puzzles. We’re delighted to show you some screens from the game, and give you some insight into the world of Jacob Jones.

So firstly, the polite thing to do would be to introduce you to our hero, although he’s a slightly younger hero than you may be used to. Without further ado, meet Jacob Jones, the latest arrival at Camp Eagle Feather, the newest and best Summer Camp.

Now Jacob isn’t one to mix with other kids – he prefers the great outdoors and the company of his parents, so spending his summer with a load of weird kids at Summer Camp isn’t exactly his idea of fun. However, when he stumbles upon the mysterious Bigfoot, his summer takes on a whole new twist.

Developed using the powerful Unreal Engine 3, it has a charming visual style and a artistically unique world which is inhabited by vinyl toy characters. Coupled with this we have all of the technical bells and whistles you would expect to find on a cutting edge PlayStation Vita title.

Since the PS Vita system was announced we firmly believed that developing a casual and accessible title, whilst using the latest technology, would allow us to create beautifully imagined worlds that sit perfectly on the PS Vita system’s gorgeous screen.

By working with some of the world’s best puzzle creators, as well as the BAFTA nominated writer George Poles, we feel that we have surrounded the talented team at Lucid with true experts in their field, and created a truly beautiful and unique world for you to explore.

Look out for more from Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery in the coming weeks as we delve deeper into the background of the main characters, reveal a little about what’s going on at Camp Eagle Feather, and also reveal how some of the fiendish puzzles were constructed. Stay tuned!

Looks like a fun game. However puzzles usually aren’t my thing, but with the adventure mixed in I think I’m going to give it a try. Is there an adventurous plot mixed with puzzles along the way? I’d like to learn more about the game.

why is vita getting a bunch of crapy games
lately they are so random crap i wouldnt buy this
i need somthing intresting this crap whats going on with the vita i only own 1 vita game
and its also LAME why its COD BOD realy boring i dont even use my vita to play please inform us of
better games

These games coming out lately look good… for KIDS… but c’mon Sony…. I didn’t buy a Vita to play kid games. Start coming out with real games or I’m going to end up selling the thing. Soul Sacrifice is out, although after playing the demo I’m not even sure if I like it. From what I got from playing a bit of the demo is you talk to a book who “warps” you to an arena. I thought there would actually be some exploration or something like a RPG like Final Fantasy or Ragnorak Oddesy (sp?).

Please start bringing out real games like Uncharted Golden Abyss or AC Liberation New games are constantly coming out for PS3 but I havent’ added a single game to my wishlist for Vita since I bought the thing in December lol..

Love the art design. Graphcally, the crisp edges (AA) and depth-of-field effects are a very nice touch. It will be interesting to see if the Vita can handle some basic Global Illumination and other dynamic lighting techniques.

Interested to see the story and puzzles. We loved Puzzle Agent, Blue Toad Murder Files, 7th Guest, Myst, and other great titles (which we’d love to see on Vita!) — so this looks right up our alley.

Any GLBT characters/choices/reveals in the game like Blue Toad Murder Files had?

This looks very cool. Sony is doing a great job at bringing varied, quality download-only games to the VITA. Now if you could just slash the prices on memory cards, maybe there would be a decent size market for this games.

Every time there’s a cool new game for Vita, it turns out it’s coming to PSN for ps3 as well… Will there ever be really cool new IP’s exclusive for the Vita? I really wanna buy the system.. just.. there’s almost no point to it when I can play everything for the vita on my ps3.

@42: Personally, I like to play PS3/Vita games on both systems. I play on PS3 when I’m sitting in from of my big tv/monitor, but then I switch to Vita when I want to lie down and relax on my bed, or when I go to eat dinner, or on my way to work. Cross-buy/play is really an awesome feature that should be used more! Guacamelee demonstrates this feature at its best.
